Some of the wealthiest California Democrats voted for the "fiscal cliff" bill that raises taxes for individuals who earn more than $400,000 a year, while a San Diego Republican who is one of the richest lawmakers in Washington voted against the bill.

The roll call shows that nearly all California Democrats, including the richest legislators, voted for the bill that was pushed strongly by the White House and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco.

One exception was Xavier Becerra, D-Los Angeles, vice chairman of the House Democratic caucus, who voted against the bill. His net worth is estimated at $1.5 million.

Becerra said in a statement that he "could not support this short-term fix, which may spawn additional long-term problems, putting off until later the tough decisions on taxes and our nation's debt and deficits while also ignoring the biggest deficit challenging America's prosperity: a jobs deficit."

Several California Republicans voted for the bill, including Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Gold River (Sacramento County), who was defeated in November by Democrat Ami Bera.

Also voting against the measure: Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista (San Diego County), whose net worth in 2010 was estimated at $448 million. Media Matters, a liberal group, said 2011 financial disclosure statements show Issa made nearly $15 million from investments that year.

Issa was joined in his opposition by California Republicans with varying financial worth. Among them: GOP Whip Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield, with a net worth of $299,000.
